I picked up an LSI 9240. It says it has win10 software, and was <$100.
Hopefully it will work.

This is for a single, stand alone machine, very low storage usage,
just want to cover a HD failure.

Agreed.
Software Storage FTW. (ZFS, Ceph, GlusterFS, etc)

Well, RAID is obsolete. You shouldn't even be running RAID
controllers with ZFS, only HBAs. The file system is far more
intelligent and capable than a hardware controller.

If it is for network attached storage I would recommend against
hardware
raid and use btrfs or zfs. I have to many issues with corrupted raid
information on drives. The advances with these file systems make raid
almost obsolete.

one server with Adaptec RAID but the place I ordered it from now
seems to only carry LSI, not sure why. Some of those cards can
throw off a lot of heat and adding fans to the chassis may make
sense, especially if it's a 1U server, many servers don't have all
the fans populated by default and adding 1-2 more may not cost much.
